forward at the top of their speed and took their post beside Knight on the engine. AS soon as the rest of us reached the hind most box car we saw that it's door was wide open. Whether this was . mere happy accident, or whether, as is moro likely, Andrews had gone forward before we reached the station and opened it, with he motioned with his hand to us saying, 'tGet inl Get imp We needed no urging. The floor was breast high, but the hind most showed and lifted the foremost and were themselves pulled up in turn. I helped to throw Shadrack up and had my arm almost pulled of as was dragged in by him a second after. All this time Q sentry was standing not a dozen feet from the engine quietly watching, as if this was the most ordinary proceeding, and 6 num- Der of other soldiers %ere idling but . short distance away. All this work was of seconds only. and as the last man was being pulled in, Andrews stepped on board, and nodded to Knight, who had never taken his eyes from his face. Quick as 8 flash the valve was thrown open and the steam giant unchainedAbut for an instant which seemed terribly long the To- comotive seemed to stand still; Knight had thrown the full power on too sud- denly, and the wheels slipped on the track, whirling with swift revolutions and the hiss of escaping steam, before the in ertia of the ponderous machine could be overcome. But this was an instant only; none of the soldiers had time to raise their muskets, give an alarm, or indeed to re- cover from their stupor before the wheels 'fbit," and the train shot away as if fired from 0 cannoni
 We were now flying on our perilous journey. The door of the box car was pulled shut to guard against any shot that might be fired, and while partially opened afterward to give us some view of what was passing, it was always closed again whenever we neared a station.

 out. Engineer Knight, whether from natural impulsiveness, or at signal from Andrews, rose also and went out with him. These two got of on the side next to the camp, and opposite the depot. They walked forward at an ordinary pace until abreast of the locomotive. which they saw at glance to be vacant engineer and fire. man had gone to breakfast. That was very goodl Andrews walked few steps further forward with Knight still at his side, un- til he could see ahead of the engine that the track was clear as far as curve a little way up the road which closed the view. Then they turned and walked back until just in advance of the first baggage car and behind the three empty freight cars, when Andrews said with a nod, "Uncouple here and wait for me-" Knight the draw bar. Andrews came back to the door of our car and opening it said in his ordinary tone, not 8 sh35e louder or more hurried than usual, "CS on, boys; it is time to go now" Our k Is gave a great bound at the word, b. we rose quietly and followed him. N hing in this was likely to attract the ate .tion of the few passengers who still remained in the car; but it mattered little, for the time of concealment was now past. Andrews glided forward very swiftly, and Knight, seeing him coming, hurried on before and jumped on the engine, where he at once cut the bell rope and, seizing the throttle bar, [stood leaning forward with tense muscles, and eye fixed on the facs of his leader.
 Andrews did not follow, but stood 8 step back from the locomotive with one hand on the rail, looking at his men as they ran forward. Brown and Wilson the other engineer and fremanl darted

Two of our number, however, were sus- pected, and as the readiest way out of their dilemma, joined the Confederate army-which we had all been expressly authorized to do in case of need, and which was the easier now, as the conscrip- tion was being relentlessly enforced, and it was assumed that all travellers who could not give good account of them selves were fleeing from it. At Marietta we spent the night, intending to capture our train in the morning in camp of the enemy's and making our way northward, burn the bridges, which constituted the object that had brought us more than 200 miles away from the nearest Union forces. But everything had worked well so far, and we were very hopeful.

which alone rendered possible the daring expeditions he meditated.
 But the dangerous business in which he was engaged was 8 great source of gr1ef and apprehension to his promised bride; and through her persuasions he was 1n- duced to pledge her that when he sue ceeded in one more enterprise he would retire from the deadly dangers which are the daily company of g spy; and with that understanding their wedding day had been fixed for some date near the middle of June, 1862. The expedition which was to be his last was this raid upon which we were now engaged.
 The writer and the men with him, as well as the other squads, directed their course first eastward till well in the mountains, and then southward, meeting

CHAPTER III.
WE CAPTURE THE TRAIN.


 The Andrews party were greatly crowd ed in the large hotel at Marietta on Fri day night, having to sleep three orfour tc a bed, but soldiers are not fastidious, and the greater number slept soundly. We had unbounded confidence in our leader, whose part it was to provide for all con- hngencies.
 The names of the men who reached Ma rietta to take part in the railroad raid were as follows:
 James J. Andrews, leader of the expe- dition and Q citizen of Kentucky.
 The Second Ohio regiment contributed:
 Marion A. Ross, Company A; George D. Wilson, Company B; William Pitten- ger, Company G; Perry G. Shadrack, Company K.
 From the Twenty-first Ohio regiment were detailed:
 Mark Wood, Company c; J. A. Wilson, Company o; J. R. Porter, Company C; William Knight, Company B; Wilson F. Brown, Company F; Wilson Bensinger, Company C.; Robert Buffum, Company H; E. H. Mason, Company K; John Scott, Company K.
 The Thirty-third Ohio supplied:
 Martin J; Hawkins, Company A; Will jam Reddich, Company B; John Wollam, Company c; Samuel Robinson, Company G; D. A. Dorsey, Company H; Jacob Parrott, Company K; Samuel Slavens.
 William Campbell, also a member of the expedition, was 8 citizen of Ohio on 8 visit to the camp, and managed to enlist among the raiders.
 Andrews scarcely slept at all that night. He first went to the hotel and saw that those who lodged there had made arrange ments for being called on time in the morn ing. Porter and Hawkins, who had come down the evening before, and had gone to bed much earlier, were not seen, and as they had not paid the waiter any fee for rousing them early, they were left behind; a diminution of our force much regretted, as they were both brave men and Hawkins was an experienced engineer. This left us but nineteen men in addition to the leader.
 We were all reused promptly at the railroad hotel little before daybreak. Andrews, who came back to us, now went from room to room while we were dress ing, seeing every man, giving him exact orders as to his part in the work of the morning. There was suppressed fire in his low, almost whispered words, calm confidence in his tones that was conta- gious. There seemed to be no doubt, hesi- tation or shrinking on his part, but, on the contrary, an eagerness and joy that the time was so near at hand

CHAPTER l.


 THE ANDREWS RAID REACHES THE HEART
 OF THE CONFEDERACY.
 At Nashville, in March, 1862, while Gen. D. c. Buell. commanded the Army of the Ohio, a spy in his employ, J. J. Andrews, proposed to him to take eight men and destroy some of the principal bridges far to the south, on one or more important Confederate railway lines. Buell. con- sented and gave the men; but though the daring spy took his men to Atlanta, Ga, the enterprise failed from the absence of a Confederate railroad engineer whose help had been promised. The men, with Andrews, succeeded in reaching the Union lines again in safety, at Murfrees- boro and Shelbyville.
 These points were then under the com mand of Gen. O. M. Mitchell, the celebrated astronomer, who had been detached with 10000 men from the army of Buell. for the purpose of guarding Nashville on that side, and of inflicting any injury in his power upon the enemy. The report of Andrews, who brought full information of the condi- tion of the enemy south and east of Mitchell, probably confirmed the daring schemes he was already entertaining, and between them they arranged for the boldest push of the war. What they meant to do may best be inferred from what they actually did. Mitchell moved his whole division to Shelbyville, Tenn, and prepared to move rapidly and secretly upon the line of the enemy's communications directly south ward. To Andrews he gave authority to take from twenty four to thirty volunteers probably man from each company of the 2d, 21st and 33d Ohio regiments. The twenty-three of these who reported were dressed iD ordinary suits in place of their uniforms ,npn1nd with Cidn arms only and with an abundance of Confederate money, and met their leader in 8 lonely wooded spot at night near the Union picket line. Here he directed them to break into small squads, and getting into the rough and unguarded country in the Cumberland range of mountains, proceed by unfrequented routes across the noun tains to different stations on railroads far within the Confederate lines, where no guards were placed and where travel was as yet free and unrestricted by passports or her dangerous formalities. Then it would be easy to reach any part of the south. If questioned while on the way they were to state that they were from Fleming county, Ky, on their way south to escape "Yankee" tyranny and to join the Southern army.
 Fleming county was the home of An drews, and there is a thread of tender and pitiful romance connecting it with his name which the writer learned on the spot from parties concerned many years after. Andrews loved, wooed and won a Kentucky lady of that vicinity-Miss Elizabeth J. Layton-who, like himself, was an ardent Unionist. She was de scribed to me by neighbors as not strik- ingly beautiful, but attractive and esti- mable. Before their marriage the war

in way that will soon De made plain. On our morrow's work, therefore, de pended the possession of Chattanooga, and probably the whole after course of the war in the west. This is an inference only; but it rests upon mass of evidence of which the reader who has not attentive1y studied the subject can scarcely form an idea.

INTRODUCTION.

INTRODUCTION.
 The following narrative is no t'war TO- nance" or "story founded on fact" but a genuine history, authenticated in every part, of real events far stranger and more thrilling than any fiction. The facts were investigated at the time by the order of Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of war, and as Q result the official war records, now being published by government, contain full proof of every material allegation. In the first series of that work, tenth vol tune, part first, and beginning on page 630, will be found the official reports of Judge Advocate General Holt, Maj. Gen. Buell. and Col. Lee, of Atlanta: together with statements by surviving members of the expedition and by Confederate Gems. E. Kirby Smith, Braxton Bragg, the Confederate secretary of war, Gen. Ran dolph, and the president, Jefferson Davis, with many others. 1 have used also my own recollections and photographic notes and dates, jotted at the very time of the events, and am thus able to make more life like picture than would otherwise be possible.
 I have only taken the liberty of passing more hastily over those events and ex- plantations which, while necessary for a full understanding of the whole, are more 1n the ordinary line or military experience, in order that more space be given to those elements of tragedy and thrilling adven- turc in which this raid stands separate and unrivaled among all the many heroic deeds of the terrible struggle for maintain ing tho American Union. Not 6 single fictitious incident or an establishment of fancy has been introduced. Wherever conjectures as to unknown motives or in- cidentS have been hazarded they are clearly distinguished as such.
